How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Salmon

Wet cardboard boxes of stored items stay damp for days. Move them onto a dry surface, or leave them for the crew if the floor is still wet.

1. Pump out the standing water

   Carpet gets repeated passes with a weighted wand, because wash water clings to the backing. Hard floors get squeegeed toward the pump intake or the drain.

2. Map the moisture

   The map sets the drying class, from 1 to 4, which controls how much equipment the room needs. A small spill on tile is Class 1, and soaked plaster or hardwood climbs higher.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Carpet pad that soaked up gray water usually comes out. The carpet itself may be cleaned and dried in place if the loss is caught early.

4. Dry and verify

   When every reading meets the target, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. That log goes into the claim file.
